Does When Hounds Fly help reactive or fearful dogs?

Yes. When Hounds Fly offers private lessons and specialized training support for dogs experiencing fear, anxiety, or reactivity.

Do you offer dog training for aggressive dogs?

Yes. Aggression toward people or other dogs is one of the most common reasons clients come to us for private lessons. Our certified trainers use humane, force-free behaviour modification techniques to address the root cause. Whether it is fear, frustration, or lack of socialization, our team can help.

What's the difference between a dog trainer and a dog behaviourist?

A dog trainer focuses on teaching specific skills and cues, while a dog behaviourist addresses the underlying emotional state behind problem behaviours like reactivity, anxiety, or aggression. At When Hounds Fly, our team supports both, giving you access to highly qualified and certified dog training professionals across the Greater Toronto Area.

Where are your dog training locations in the Greater Toronto Area?

We have locations across the Greater Toronto Area, including Dundas West, Riverdale, Yonge and Eglinton, South Etobicoke, Mississauga, and Markham.

At what age should I start puppy training in Toronto?

The earlier the better, ideally before 16 weeks. This is the critical socialization window when puppies are most receptive to new experiences, people, and other dogs.
